But the Brazil international took to his Instagram account to allay his followers' fears.

In response to some worried fans, he simply replied: "I'm not leaving."

The right-back has made just nine Premier League appearances this season and has been substituted in five of those matches.

Fabio has been linked with a move to Cardiff City in January after failing to break into the United side under new manager David Moyes.

The 23-year-old was on loan at QPR last season and has made just three appearances during the current campaign; 90 minutes against Crystal Palace in the Premier League, a last-minute substitute cameo in the Capital One Cup and five minutes against Swansea in the FA Cup before he was sent off shortly after being brought off the bench.
